Midfielder’s dominates Europe in these stats, showing he’s Pochettino’s perfect player | OneFootball

Conor Gallagher is having a brilliant season for Chelsea.

He’s quite a unique player in terms of strengths and style, but certainly the type who fans adore. He’s all action, full commitment, tackles, goals, blood and thunder.

Just look at his stats from the season so far – WhoScored have pointed out that he is the only player in all of Europe’s top 5 leagues with more than 15 tackles, more than 15 interceptions and more than 15 wins of possession in the final third.

That shows that the type of player Gallagher is, is dovetailing perfectly with the type of player that Mauricio Pochettino wants. With Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez sitting deeper, Gallagher is free to roam really high up, hunting down opposition defenders on the ball and pulling his whole team up the pitch with him.

If we’re going anywhere this season, it will be with Conor leading the way, and his manager cheering him on from the sideline.
